Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

I didn't want to have to say this to you
It's not that I don't love you
I just can't be explaining to everyone why you hurt me
That's why I want to keep us between you and me
You'd understand if you were treated like me
It's not that people run me, but they can see
When I am hurtin', they know it's not me
So don't make me the blame
You need to change

You say later, you're not ready
To make a commitment to me
It will take some time
Should've known before we started
You act one way when you are around me
When you are in public you are so different
I know that you treat me bad
But I can't get away
Let's just keep it undercover
I don't want to be embarrassed so

I don't want anybody to know (anybody)
Didn't we decide that
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)
Didn't we decide that
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)

I know that people would never understand me
'Cause they can only judge whatever they see
And I know what they'll say if they look at me
If I had all the answers that they would ask
Still they wouldn't realize the love that we have
So now I have to deal with living secretly
'Cause to me, love is worthless with no you and me
And it should be clear how I ride for you, but

You say later, you're not ready
To make a commitment to me
It will take some time
Should've known before we started
You act one way when you are around me
When you are in public you are so different
I know that you treat me bad
But I can't get away
Let's just keep it undercover
I don't want to be embarrassed so

I don't want anybody to know (don't want anybody to know)
Didn't we decide that (that we are together and so in love)
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)
What we do when we're alone (yeah, yeah)
We don't want anybody to know (anybody) (don't want anybody to know)
Didn't we decide that (didn't we decide all of this)
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know

Tell me if I've made it clear to you
If you can't understand this, then maybe we need
To give up on each other until you believe
Everything we go through is all because of you
And you don't have to do the things that you do
'Cause I've been the same since we began
So baby, will you make a change? (We, yeah)

Don't want anybody to know (anybody) (don't want anybody)
Didn't we decide that (to question what we do)
We don't want anybody to know (don't want anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (anybody) (it can stay in between me and you)
Didn't we decide that (didn't we decide that)
We don't want anybody to know (anybody) (nobody has to know)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (anybody)

Didn't we decide that (to question what we do)
We don't want anybody to know (don't want anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know
Didn't we decide that (didn't we decide that)
We don't want anybody to know (anybody) (don't want no one to know)
Ah, ah

We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want no one to know)
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want no one to know)
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want)
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want no one to know)
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want no one to know)
We don't want anybody to know, ah-ah-ah (we don't want no one to know)
We don't want anybody to know
